it measures an average of the speed you have in a short timeframe

Which is a pretty accurate way to measure your max bandwidth.

speedtest = winner

I know that some cable providers give you a little boost for the first few minutes of heavy usage but will eventually throttle it back down. Also [tinfoil hat] I suspect they may artificially prioritize popular speed test sites.

Speedtest has always showed me the "real, sustainable" speed I pay for. I can download/upload for hours and happily achieve that speed for the majority of the transfer duration, it's not just a burst speed.
Once again, Kalphiter tries to call me out and fails.
